>This is my last step of making my first Rev program. Paul, I've come across this problem in making windows icons too. In earlier versions of Rev, only 16-color icons were accepted, but now it seems they've gone overboard and 32-bit color icons are *required*! :( Windows .ico files are built of many parts. These different icons will be displayed based on available colors or size. According to Rev, icon files must have these parts: 16 Color 16x16 16 color 32x32 16 color 48x48 256 color 16x16 256 color 32x32 256 color 48x48 Windows XP (32-bit color) 16x16 Windows XP (32-bit color) 32x32 Windows XP (32-bit color) 48x48 I used to use IconEdit32, which supported all of the formats except for the last three. Now, I guess I'll have to use another program. IconCool Editor 4.4, I know, will support xp icons and I'm surprised it won't work for you. The Microsoft site http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/winxpicons.asp<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/winxpicons.asp> says to use a program called Gif Movie Gear. (?) It's shareware. "Icon Sushi" supported the right files, but it was very frustrating to use. Axalias will probably work, you can try a trial version. http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/<http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/> I too am very frustrated that apparently you cannot create custom icons for a rev app without paying for some other icon software. -Ben _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
